galvanized to enjoy the day.
Started the day with the Benedictines for mass at 9.00am. The chants
are wonderful.
Then a quick desayuno of cafe-con-leche, zumo and tostada (coffee,
orange juice and toast).
All the tourist bits are closed on Mondays, so walked the hills to the
hermitages etc for the morning. Just georgeous. Watched the hay
cutting for over an hour.
Most cafes closed for Monday, but one provided a magnificent pollo
(chicken) lunch. Met a group of Aussies doing the Parador Route, ie
staying in the best hotels wherever they go. Didn't have a lot in
common.
Am looking forward to seeing Jim this evening but also to resuming the
Camino tomorrow. It's funny but after a few days as a tourist I am
aching to get back on the walk. There is something special about a
bit of hard yakka and the reward of getting to your goal for the day.
Cheers
John
